THE RECALL CAMPAIGN

Contributions race

These contributions were reported by major candidates on the Oct. 7 ballot who have received sums of at least $100,000 for their gubernatorial campaigns. Totals are for all contributions through Aug. 23 and contributions of $1,000 or more through Thursday. Donations of $1,000 or more must be reported within 24 hours of receipt.

* Telacu Industries, an East Los Angeles economic development company, gave $20,200. Signature Properties, a large Northern California home developer that has contributed $20,000 to Gov. Gray Davis' anti-recall efforts, gave $10,000 to Bustamante.

* The union representing Los Angeles County deputy sheriffs gave $2,500, but a Schwarzenegger campaign aide said the candidate would return the money immediately, conforming to his promise not to accept money from unions. James Bochnowski, an Atherton, Calif., venture capitalist, gave $21,200*, and his wife gave $21,200. Sandra Velsaco Jordan of Jordan Winery gave $20,000. Actor-producer Kelsey Grammer gave $1,000.

Two anti-recall committees, which are not subject to the same contribution limits as candidates, have raised more than $5.7 million to help Gov. Gray Davis.

Taxpayers Against the Governor's Recall has reported receiving more than $2.4 million from 177 contributions. Californians Against the Costly Recall of the Governor has reported raising more than $3.3 million from 196 contributions, with $302,200 from nine contributions reported through Thursday.

The Democratic Governor's Assn. once again contributed $250,000 to Californians Against the Costly Recall of the Governor. Last week, the group requested that an identical gift be returned due to concerns about the legality of the contribution. The California Medical Assn. gave the same committee $20,000.

*Contributions to candidates from each outside source are limited to $21,200. There is no cap on the amount candidates can give their own campaigns.
